The Expo Opposites Making Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We started our expo recap with the group we feel gets the least amount of love, the back-row defenders. As we continue through our recap of players who stood out we are moving in direction of positions at times overlooked...so today we talk about the right side pin players or opposites. There were quite a few who stood out among the 250. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261113"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a784ce44e62"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The southpaw brought her game throughout the day. What stood out was the power behind her swings. She doesn't hold back and lets it rip from the right pin. She displayed some ability to pass in serve receive. At only 5'8", she still showed she can get some touches on attacks from bigger players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261116"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a784ce44ee5"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malget is listed as an OH but it was her play on the RS that caught our attention. The Wichita native journeyed up Interstate 35 and left as a player to watch this winter/spring for Shockwave. The part of her game we took note of was her decision-making and ability to use the whole court with her shots. She was lethal on line shots and eating up defenders all day. She produced 162 kills last fall for Southeast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219719"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a784ce44f98"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hampton we learned is a setter who also swings from the right side while in the front row. Checking out her high school stats, she was third on the team in kills with 128. From the setter position, she had 518 assists during her sophomore year. I noticed her play when she was attacking, which is why she's listed in the opposite recap. As a hitter, she is really powerful. She is not timid and afraid to go at a big block. When blocking she does get good touches on balls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173383"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a784ce44fe1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Dynasty product had a good showing with her play from the right side. She had some great swings when I saw her in drills and competitive play. She is another player who did a good job of mixing up her shots and being aware of the block in front of her. She saw action in 15 varsity sets in 2022 and should play more next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["261104"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a784ce45026"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are grateful the staff on site did a great job of tracking us down to update us on number changes. I'm going to also say it wasn't a coincidence when alerted of this change, we noticed her play. She has good size and mixed up her shots when in attack mode. She looked good defensively and provided a good presence at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216466"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63a784ce4506a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is going to make a college coach very happy. The growth in her game was evident in 2022 as she earned Missouri Class 4 all-state honors after helping lead her team to the final four. Her cross-court swing is a major part of her game and she's able to find the floor at a high percentage. She does a good job of getting on top of the ball and using her length. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
